Diane Feagain

Diane Feagain is a dedicated Main Street Kent volunteer, member of the Kent Community TimeBank, and staff member at the Haymaker Farmers’ Market. Many times throughout the year, you’ll see her in our Black Squirrel costume, posing for photos at Kent Oktoberfest, Family Friendly Halloween, and other events.
